20. Housing Benefits

There are five main benefits available to tenants:

i. Housing Benefit
ii. Moving Grant
iii. Home Improvement Loan
iv. Rental Guarantees

If your tenant gets into arrears of rent, you need to ensure they are aware of their potential entitlement to housing benefit, in particular, before you commence legal proceedings for possession of the property.

We shall be writing about these benefits in our forthcoming pages on the French social security system, although you can read about Rental Guarantees in our pages on Protection Against Non-Payment of Rent.

To celebrate the release of our Guide to Letting Property in France we are offering readers the opportunity to advertise their French rental property (holiday or long-let) FREE OF CHARGE.

Find out more at How to Advertise your Rental Property Free of Charge.
